Chapter 47: Planning and Governing Penghua (6)

Previous Chapter

Yu Chong saw that although the four countries were in a military alliance, they were also divided into two camps, each constantly planning for its own vital interests.

As soon as Hu Xuan finished finishing his meal and then continued the discussion, Zun Jiguo and Shangyuan Guo walked together and moved to the dining hall, and only the important ministers of the Beihun Kingdom and Yu Chong and others were left in the main hall.

"Lord Pan, Commander Zhai, in fact, I received a secret letter from the lord of the country last night, and the letter said that I will help you in the Southern Dusk City and divide the remaining area with this Shangyuan country equally."

"Yes, then I have to bother the two princes to help a lot at the afternoon planning meeting." Pan Quyang arched his hand and said.

"That's natural, everyone knows that this Shangyuan Country and the Zunji Country are the real military alliances, but isn't it the same for my Beihun Kingdom and your Southern Dusk City, one side and the other, and the interests you fight for the Southern Dusk City are actually also fighting for the interests of my Beihu Country in disguise." Hu Xuan talked eloquently.

"Yes, Master Pan, my second brother said that he would do it, if he can't fight the battle of his Zunji Country, I think he dares to fight back!" Hu Mao's eyes widened with anger.

"Eh, third brother, since it is now a military alliance, it is not easy for our four countries to have disputes within themselves, and I will discuss politics in the afternoon, I have my own arrangements, just listen to my speech at that time, and there is no need to do anything on the side." Hu Xuan said.

Yu Chong and the others listened carefully in the back, and Yan Ruo whispered to Chong: "I didn't expect you to guess that the city lord's mind is quite accurate, how do you know that the city lord's ambition is not just an eastern suburb of Penghua Kingdom." Yan Ruo asked curiously.

"That's the ambition of the Northern Twilight Country, not just an eastern suburb, if you can let the Southern Twilight City occupy more territory, it will also be of great help to him in the Northern Hun Kingdom, but in the future, after my Southern Twilight City is strong, I will definitely break away from the curtain of the Northern Hun Kingdom and listen to the government~~~" Yu Chong said firmly.

At this time, Yan Ruo cast some incredible eyes, Yu Chong in front of her seemed to have some other revenge in addition to revenge, this kind of look, Yan Ruo seemed to have seen it.

That's right, Yu Chiqing has also had it!

After finishing their lunch and resting for a while, they came to the main hall to continue their afternoon deliberations.

At the time of the noon break, the important ministers of the Shangyuan Kingdom obviously reached an agreement with Zaifu and others of the Zunji Kingdom, and they did not show too much aggressiveness in the following discussions.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this time we have agreed on the matter of zoning, we still have to come to a result, and our Shangyuan Kingdom Mission has also fully agreed, there is such a proposal, I don't know if the adults of Nandusk City can study it." He Shiqi suddenly changed his tone.

Zhai Jiang'er felt that He Shiqi's proposal was not so simple, and was about to answer aloud, only to see Hu Xuan glance at Zhai Jiang'er, and signaled to Pan Quyang to agree.

After Pan Quyang understood, he arched his hand towards He Shiqi and said, "I would like to hear about it." ”

"At the beginning, the lord Zeng Lun set two plans for the old ministers, one is that the remaining zoning area will be occupied by our Shangyuan State and you will occupy one in Nanducheng, but you are strongly opposed, so this discussion is just." He Shiqi took a sip of tea, cleared his throat, and continued.

"Second, the remaining area can be divided and governed equally with your Southern Dusk City, but the Pingchu area ceded by our Shangyuan Kingdom is leased to you Southern Dusk City for a lease period of thirty years, and you need to pay the annual silver to my Shangyuan Kingdom, if you agree, I will say it later." He Shiqi stared at Pan Quyang and Zhai Jiang'er and said.

"Which part of this Pingchu region is, how is it?" Yu Chong asked in a low voice.

Yan Ruo also shook his head, indicating that it was not clear.

Master Xu of Hu Xuan approached Yu Chong at this time and whispered: "This Pingchu region is far inferior to the eastern suburbs occupied by your Nandui City, and the two territories occupied by their Shangyuan Kingdom before, it belongs to a gathering area of Diao people, poor mountains and bad waters, robbers are rampant, when Nan'an was in power, he had a headache, and Bai gave it a headache, but this year is a little unworthy." ”

Zhai Jiang'er discussed with Pan Quyang and Gao Yanmei in a low voice, they seemed to have known about the situation in the Pingchu area for a long time, but this lease of Pingchu still had to be discussed in depth.

"We're more interested in this plan, and I'm bothering Lord He to continue to talk about it." Pan Quyang said with a smile.

"Okay, since our four countries exist as a military alliance, I also somewhat understand that your Southern Dusk City does not want to show weakness to the other three countries to the outside world, if I really take three shares of the remaining area, and you Southern Dusk City only takes one share, it will indeed not be easy to develop on this Qionghua Continent in the future." He Shiqi analyzed.

"There's a reason for that." Zhai Jianger added.

"We lease the Pingchu region to you Nandui City, on the surface, the territory that everyone has divided and ruled is basically equal, so there is no way to say that the outside world is close to our military allies. During the lease period, your Southern Dusk City is responsible for the security and people's livelihood issues in the Pingchu region, and you can send troops to garrison and rectify it. He Shiqi continued.

"This is natural, if it is rented by me in Nandusk City, it will naturally be fully managed by our Nandusk City, I don't know how much this old silver, how much does Lord He want?" Gao Yanmei asked.

"Eight million taels of silver per year, just allocate it to Shangyuan City in the middle of the year!" He Shiqi said loudly.

As soon as Sui Yin said, there was an uproar in the audience, a barren land, it turned out to be eight million taels of silver!

"Let me mention it, Shangyuan Kingdom can really take into account the relationship between military allies, but this year's silver eight million taels is not too much for Nanducheng City, Master Pan, how much did you earn in Nanducheng last year, can you say?" Hu Xuan asked.

"It's a military alliance, but it doesn't hurt to say it, although our Southern Dusk City is built near the sea and is a land of fish and rice, but the affairs in the city are complicated, and the money is also very useful, last year, the overall income of my Southern Dusk City just exceeded fifteen million taels, and these eight million taels have accounted for half of the treasury revenue, so how can I settle other city affairs in Nandusk City, Lord He, what do you say?" Pan Quyang asked rhetorically.

"I do know that within a country, all major and small matters have to be solved by calling for silver, but the lord of the country, Zeng Lun, only gave the old minister these two choices, and you Nanducheng do not accept the first one, then you can only use the second one, and the old minister has no right to lower the silver without permission, and he will be guilty of bullying the king." He Shiqi prevaricated.

"Eh, is everything easy to discuss, even if you Shangyuan Country governs this Pingchu region by yourself, won't it also cost the army and money, right now Nandui City is not afraid of hardship, and it can be regarded as helping you Shangyuan Kingdom alleviate the difficulties, right?" The Zai Fuhua of the Zunji Kingdom began to help.

"Since everyone wants to get this thing done, I see that Nan Dusk City intends to rent it, and Shangyuan Kingdom doesn't have so much effort to manage it, this matter is actually half of it, and it is stuck on this year's silver, Lord He, since Hua Zaifu also said, I think you Shangyuan City is still taking care of Nan Dusk City to some extent, and it is not good to occupy more than half of the treasury income of other people at once." Hu Xuan also began to bargain.

"Then you can't be the master of this matter alone, you also came to discuss the planning together, and you can also talk about it." He Shiqi said and asked the other important ministers of the Shangyuan Kingdom.

"It's up to the Lord to decide." The other important ministers are all He Shiqi's head.

"I think so, don't rent eight million taels of silver, five million taels, Lord He, what do you see......" Hu Xuan looked at the flowers and asked.

"This, the old minister can't be the home of the lord of the country, the old minister has to ask the lord for instructions first." He Shiqi pretended to be difficult.

"Lord He, you might as well go to the table to present the book, and I will send an eight-hundred-mile expedited treasure horse to help you send a letter to the lord of the country to decide, do you think it's okay?" Hu Mo said.

"This ......," He Shiqi hesitated.

"I think that's it, Lord He is five million taels, I believe that your lord can accept it." The Zunji Guozai Fuhua secretly gave He Shiqi a look.

"Lord Pan, Commander Zhai, what do you think?" Hu Xuan asked the two.

"We also need to report to the lord of the city about the loan of the silver." Commander Zhai said.

"Okay, since the two countries are not far away, then tomorrow we will continue to discuss the matter of governing Penghua, if it is decided tomorrow, the agreement can be signed in the afternoon, and the countries will begin to send troops to govern their respective regions, I don't know what the rank and wife want?" Hu Xuan asked.

"That's true."

"It's all up to the prince's arrangement."

"Okay, then it's decided first, tomorrow we will continue to discuss the matter of zoning, let's get here here today."

After Yu Chong and the others came out of Penghua Palace, the sky was getting dark, and after returning to the eastern suburbs, Ah Fu hurriedly walked out of the camp, grabbed Yu Chong's hand and said: "Brother Yu, Xiao Wan was captured by two masters, and several sergeants were killed. ”

"What? When did it happen? Yu Chong hurriedly asked.

"It was just after noon that the two gangsters took advantage of the lax garrison of the camp to make a sudden move." Ah Fu said.

"It's still them." Zhai Jiang'er stroked his beard and said slowly.
